KATHUA, Apr 12: Prof Bhim Singh, Panthers Party candidate from Udhampur Parliamentary constituency, addressed several meetings in Assembly segments of Bani, Basohli, Hiranagar and warned the nationalist forces on the dangers to the security, integrity and unity of the country if the scientific amendments are not made in the Constitution of India.
He said that the sovereignty comes under question by the foreign elements when there are two flags in one State and the Parliament has no legislative control in a particular State e.g. J&K. Prof Bhim Singh said that he shall mobilize the opinion of the Parliamentarians for an effective amendment in the Constitution for the security, unity and integrity of the nation.
Prof Bhim Singh said that cause of violence in J&K or Assam cannot be compared with the violent activities in the rest of the country. He emphasized for a drastic amendment in the Representation of Peoples’ Act so that the elections of the representatives of the recognized political parties are financially supported by the State and official rigging is checked. He said that violence by particular groups of the youth like Naxalites and others is because of the mounting corruption and betrayal by the politicians with the youth.
Drawing attention towards huge expenditures by the candidates in the elections, Prof Bhim Singh said that this was the root cause of corruption in politics.
“This is the root cause of violence in the society by the educated youth. This will be dangerous for the growth of democracy in India,” he said and urged the Election Commission of India to apply election rules and Code of Conduct in the same way as it is applied outside J&K.
Prof Singh said that Article 370 cannot give immunity to the law-breakers to rig the polls and violate the Code of Election Rules.
